Some defended the idol, explaining that criticism should be aimed at THE BLACK LABEL.
why are people calling somi the lazy one when it’s clearly the black label’s fault for using AI not her? she isn’t the one editing her pictures (doesn’t mean i agree with them using AI on her comeback teasers) https://t.co/5Etl62gA2U
